Golf
Play 3 local courses with the Loch Lomond Golf Pass Cardross, Helensburgh & Buchanan Castle www.lochlomondgolfpass.com
Cardross Golf Club was founded in 1895. The current golf course layout benefited from design changes recommended by James Braid, which were implemented in 1921. Generous undulating fairways and large deciduous trees are features of the golf course and it tends to play much longer than the yardage suggests.
With stunning panoramic views across the Clyde Estuary towards Arran and over the Loch Lomond to the Trossachs, our exciting moorland course is a 'Must Play' experience.
Buchanan Castle offers golfers a fair but challenging round of golf in a unique setting, with mountains, river and forest scenery near the shores of Loch Lomond. It is a stunningly beautiful parkland course.
Play 5 courses with the National Park Golf Pass; Aberfoyle, Buchanan Castle, Callander, Killin & St. Fillans.:
Aberfoyle lies South of Loch Lomond but high on the Menteith Hills. This course is very up and down but is quite short, so it is not over challenging.
The backdrop at Callander is as uplifting as the course is diverse and it is a pleasure to see your ball scorching towards its target against such scenery. Designed by Old Tom Morris this is a scenic, wooded parkland course with panoramic views to Ben Ledi, fantastically diverse holes and well-maintained greens.
A picturesque 9 hole course set in the beautiful scenery of the Perthshire Highlands. Often described as the most beautiful 9 hole golf course in Scotland.
Considering the imposing hills that surround the course, the terrain is surprisingly level, and is popular with those new to the sport yet proves to be a difficult course to score well on for the more experienced player, superb green keeping and breathtaking scenery.
The Carrick Golf Club is one not to miss. There is a choice of two course; the nine hole Wee Demon and the unforgettable Carrick Course. The Carrick Course runs alongside the banks of Loch Lomond and offers stunning views of the spectacular landscape.
